KFC Japan offers a permanent "All-You-Can-Eat" buffet in all of one location in all of Japan. It's located in Osaka and has become somewhat of a tourist destination, where some people travel from around the country to check it out. Why?

Because it has special items like this:

The Crispy Rice Bowl is currently featured at the location and features a rice bowl topped with shredded cabbage, tempura fried chicken, and finished with a generous (some might say excessive) drizzle of mayo and a sprinkling of seaweed.

Also currently featured is this biscuit-based dessert:

It's a KFC biscuit (I haven't been able to figure out why the Japanese version has a donut-like hole in the middle, but they do) topped with soft serve and maple syrup.
Beyond that you can get the stuff you'll find on the normal KFC Japan menu like Fried Chicken, chicken nuggets, fries, and biscuits, but also pasta, soup, rice, croquettes, shumai (kinda random), and a salad bar.

All-you-can-eat buffets tend to come with time limits in Japan and at this location 1290 yen or about $13.79 (1490 yen on the weekends), gets you an hour to gorge.

The buffet runs from 11:00am to 3:00pm on the weekdays and 10:00am to 8:00pm on the weekends and holidays.
